There has to be an appreciation thread for a reason. On the Discussion thread, people kept making opinion based remarks that I was uncomfortable with, such as:
*Claiming Jesy, who has a really curvy figure and has the best face of the girls, was their least attractive.
*Claiming the Saturdays were bigger just because the earned their First no 1 this year, after 10 top 10 singles. The chart topper- whilst it is a really catchy song- was also their first charting song outside the UK, and hasnt impacted Australia or the states, even with a reality tv show. LM made it world wide, and charted in the top 5 in 8 major charts, on social network alone.
*Claiming LM dont have a headline type- They do- Her name is Perrie Edwards.
*Claiming Fifth Harmony are the girl 1D. I hav not heard 5H and I'm sure they're good, but they don't have a headline type, and look rather simple (although I probably said that about LM 18 months ago). I am glad LM havent set up rivalries with 5H or the Sats, like the Wanted with 1D. Rivalries are better with a good friendship.
* Claiming LM flopped with How Ya doing- a 4th album song- just because they added iconic female rapper Missy Elliot. Missy's last big UK hit was long ago.
*Calling them an 8 year old girls' group because they make toys soley for that part of the market that male mixers like me don't find appealing.
None of the above claims are true, and when anyone says something on the web, it stays there. If you posted a negative comment, will you regret it in a few weeks? Does it make you feel guilty? That is why we need an appreciation thread.
ps: and did James Arthur need promotion for his sucess? No. Promoting on the social network is easier.)

In an appreciation thread you can also give out constructive criticism. Sometimes it will be hard to read
They are people opinions and they are not based on facts. Also some of the stuff you have written is also an opinion, they are not facts. Not everyone is going to agree with what you say that's why people discuss it in the Discussion thread.

Also the one comment that I have made bold. I'm sure that HYD the record label wanted at least a top 5 for that song as it was a totally new song. Even so they had Missy Elliot. LM's name should have also sold the song but it didn't. It under performed, it did not do well, the sales numbers are not great (but in other people's words it flopped)

Anyway back to LM, on the Discussion thread, there are the European sale figures of CYL and HYD. And they seem to be working with a new song writer/producer ....

Erm. Missy was just their personal idol. It wouldn't have peaked higher anyway because it was a 4th album song and changes were negligable. Also, Missy's last big song was long ago.

I agree

I personally find it a lame excuse. A lot of artists can still have a hit even though they have an album out already. I'm not hitting at LM or anything, they have done well but My personal view is that it should have done better. I hope LM and their team can learn from their mistakes they made during this era

1D and Cher Lloyd didnt even have (or, if they did, didnt even sell) any, so, at least LM did better in that respect.

That's true, but I can tell you that if either had gotten a 4th single then it would've been given a single remix with a feature from another artist to help the song chart higher.

I'm definitely proud of what the girls have accomplished thus far don't mistake me. They've developed a strong foundation, but DNA era was far from flawless, particularly on the part of label/management.

I'm definitely expecting them to make improvements for the second era, particularly in the singles releases.
